DESCENDANT OF COOK
MIDDLESBOROUGH MAN’S CLAIM STATUE WREATHED (United Service) Reed. 11.20 a.m. LONDON, Monday. Direct descendants of Captain Cook —John Kealey, residing at Middlesborough, with his son, daughter and grandson—attended the Australian ceremony of placing a wreath on Cook’s statue at the Admiralty Arch. Mr. Kealey said he was descended from Cook through his mother, who often visited the explorer’s widow at London, at the house at Clapham where Cook lived after his return from his voyages. The house still stands, and contains the corridor of Cook’s quarter-deck, in which he paced thinking out his problems.
